My system consists of a GNS430W, HS34, D10A, and EFISD10.  I also have a TRUTRAK Digiflight IIVSVG, with coupled vertical guidance on GPS WAAS approaches.

Everithing is working well except that I ge no bearing iformation on my HSI display.  I press the Bearing source button on the HS34 and turn the Value knob, but absolutely nothing happens.  My Garmin settings are as follows:  (I'm including all screens, realizing many are not relevant.)

Main Arinc Config

I received a replacement HS34 from Dynon, but it acts the same way: no bearing pointer and (---) on both the bearing sources.  Presiing the bearing source button and rotating the Value knob has no effect.

Can anyone see anything wrong with my settings?

Thanks and best regards,

Rafael

You probably ought to give us a call at 425-402-0433 when you're at the airplane for some more personalized troubleshooting, but, even if the 430 were completely off, you should still be able to see the BRG sources change on the HSI page when you push the BRG SRC buttton once or twice and spin the knob - it will go through the various GPS/NAV sources that are configured in the Dynon unit's HSI setup. So another thing - if there isn't anything set up in the Dynon menus, neither the BRG SRC nor the NAV SRC buttons would do anything.

Now, if your HSI works but the BRG doesn't, then that's a little weird. Anyway, give us a call.
